'Member of the Year'

Perry-Taylor County Chamber of Commerce
Chairman Wade Goodman (right) congratulates
Chamber Member of the Year Walter Cox of Cox
Electronics.

For the Perry-Taylor
County Chamber of
Commerce, Friday's annual
banquet provided a night
to look back over a year of
successes as well as peer
ahead at the coming year,
during which new Chairman
Wade Goodman said he
hopes they will be able to
"reintroduce" themselves
to their members and the
community.
Some 270 local
business representatives
and government officials
gathered at the Perry Elks
Lodge to "Put on the Ritz"
with emcee Cline Moore,
who injected the evening
with a mixture of humor
and serious reflection on
the power of community
members working together.

Garbed in dresses, suits
and tuxes, the attendees took
part in a silent auction and
listened to music provided
by the Florida State
University Jazz Ensemble.
At the start of the program,
Moore called on those in
attendance to remember
that all of the chamber's
members--whether a
one-person operation, a
small business or a large
manufacturer--play a part in
the local economy and the
local community.
When it was time to
single out one such business
as the chamber's Member
of the Year, Moore pointed
to someone who has been
a "chamber member and
supporter for well over 25
years.

"This person is one that
you see at every community
and chamber event, working
diligently in the background
to make sure everything
runs smoothly. He donates
his time and his expertise
to help Taylor County be a
better place.
"Some of you know
him as the guy from Radio
Shack, some the sound man,
but to us he is the Taylor
County Chamber Member
of the Year--a man of few
words, Mr. Walter Cox with
Cox Electronics."

Holmes presented 'Our Hero' award

Longtime Perry Fire
Department Volunteer
Wallace Holmes was named
the 2012 recipient of the
Perry Rotary Club's Our
Hero Award, announced
Friday evening, Feb. 22, at
the Perry-Taylor County
Chamber of Commerce
Banquet.
Annually, the award
recognizes a first-responder
who demonstrates an
outstanding level of
service to Taylor County
beyond the usual scope of
duties.
Nominated by the Perry
Fire Department, Holmes
was recognized for his
"selfless acts of kindness"
and for "always being there
in times of need."
Holmes has been a
volunteer for the City of
Perry since 1999 and, in
2010, he became the
chaplain for both the
city fire department
and Taylor County Fire-
Rescue.
"Wallace has been by our
side in our good times and
in our times of need," the
nomination letter stated.
"Day or night, you can call;
on Wallace and he will be on

his way, either responding
to a structure fire, wreck or
just to someone in need of
prayer. Whenever we have
to page out the volunteers
for an emergency, it's
almost a guarantee that
if he is not out of town,
Wallace will show up to
a scene ready and willing
to help in any way he
can.
"We would like to
nominate Wallace for his
selfless acts of kindness,
for the hard work and time
he volunteers, for always
being there for all of us in
our times of need and for
the prayers he prays to keep
us safe."
Perry Rotary Club
President Mark Viola
presented Holmes his
award during Friday's
banquet.
"The Perry Rotary Club
has spent the past 90 years
striving to live up to the
motto of 'Service Above
Self,'" Viola said.
"The Our Hero Award,
in turn, recognizes those
in our community who not
only put 'Service Above
Self' on a daily basis, they
put their own lives on the

line each and every day, paramedics and corrections containing items donated
and by that I mean our officers." by Buckeye Community

Letters to the Editor

Reconsider your 'works'

Dear Editor:
Can a Christian be a
registered Democrat?
The Democratic Party
platform includes abortion
which is defined by God as
murder.
The King James version
of the Holy Bible states:
James 2:26: "For as the
body without the spirit is
dead, so faith without works
is dead also."
Revelation 2:23: "And I
will kill her children with
death; and all the churches
shall know that I am he
which searcheth the reins
and hearts: and I will give
unto every one of you

123 S. Jdfferson Street
Perr. Florida

according to your works."
Revelation 20:12: "And
I saw the dead, small and
great, stand before God; and
the books ,were opened: and
another book was opened,
which is the book of life:
and the dead were judged
out of those things 'which
were written in the books,
according to their works."
Revelation 20:13: "And
the sea gave up the dead
which were in it; and death
and hell delivered up the
dead which were in them:
and they were judged every
man according to their
works."
Luke 13:27-28: "But
I Il l I I I l

he shall say, I tell you, I
know you not whence ye
are; depart from me, all
ye workers of iniquity.
There shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth, when
ye shall see Abraham, and
Isaac, and Jacob, and all the
prophets, in the kingdom of
God, and you yourselves
thrust out."
If you support the
Democratic Party, your
works support the murder
of unborn (hence innocent)
children and you will stand
before God to be judged by
your works.
Therefore a Christian can
not support the Democratic
Party. If you are a registered
Democrat you better
reconsider where you are
headed.
Sincerely,
David E. Furniss

TCHS sweeps competition

Members of Taylor County High

Submitted by DAVID WOODS
Biomedical Science instructor
The morning of Feb.
9, seven students from
Taylor County High School
(TCHS)--Sarah Webb,
Rohan Patel, Katie Cannon,
Rebecca Barber, Sarah
Mcintosh, Carrie McGuire
and Ashley Wallace-
traveled to compete for
the first time ever in the
Regional Health Occupation
Students of America
(HOSA) Biotechnology
competition.
This competition
brings together students
in bio-medical science
fields in the Big Bend
Area.
The competition was held
at Florida High with more

than 45 students from the
surrounding school districts/
high schools, as well as
25 students from Florida
State University (FSU) in
attendance.
This is the first time
TCHS has competed in the
event and the school has
only recently established a
new charter here. With only
two weeks to prepare for the
competition, our students
were nervous--to say the
least. After multiple hours
of testing and laboratory
work later, that anxiety and
preparation would pay off.
Taylor County High
School would go on to beat
Florida High in the HOSA
Brain Bowl and finish
stunning the competition

by not only placing in
the event, but by winning
first, second and third in
biotechnology. Sophomore
Rohan Patel took home first
place; freshman Rebecca
Barber, second place; and
junior Jessica Webb, third
place.
By winning regionals our
students will move onto to
the state competition that is
to be held in Orlando April
4-71.
Students who competed
in the event are part of the
PLTW Biomedical Sciences
program at TCHS and the
course was made possible
and funded as part of the
"Race To The Top Grant"
the Taylor school district
received.

I know Mom is being taken care of by a professional,
caring staff 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. She's not
sitting alone in her home she's with her peers. And
she's still close by. Mom is much happier now, and so am I.

The Taylor County Middle
School baseball team took
on Wakulla Middle School
last Tuesday and came up
on the short end of the 9 to
3 contest.
Inconsistent pitching
combined with 5 defensive
errors were the main
contributors to the loss.
Joshua Mixon made his
first start of the season on
the mound for the Bulldogs
and got into early trouble
due to 3 bases on balls and
3 costly errors. Mixon gave
way to Mikey Hammock for
relief in the first inning and
left the mound giving up 6
runs, 3 walks and striking
out 1. Hammock pitched
a strong 2 and 1/3 innings
allowing only 2 runs, 3 hits,
2 strikeouts and 4 walks.
Relieving Hammock were
Henry Blue who allowed no
hits and gave up 4 walks,
followed by Dylan Clark
who surrendered 1 hit and 1
walk.
"We knew going into
the season our pitching
depth was going to be
inexperienced. We have a
lot of new players," Head
Coach Jimmy Mincy said.
The coach said Coach Carl
Sadler has been working
with the players on pitching
and they should get better
every game.
"I was really pleased with
how Mikey Hammock came
into the game and stopped
Wakulla's rally as well
as how Henry and Dylan
performed when they got
their chances," Mincy said.

Offensively the team was
led at the plate by Willie
Elder and Joshua Mixon.
Elder was 2 for 3 including a
run scoring double in the 5th
inning and Mixon (1 for 2)
executed a perfect sacrifice
bunt in the 3rd inning which
led to the Bulldogs' first two
runs. Others contributing
at the plate included Zach
Fike going 1 for 3 and
James Parker going 1 for 3
recording his first hit as a
Bulldog.
Defensively, despite the
errors, there were some
positives from the game. Will
Albritton had "a great game
behind the plate," blocking
numerous pitches in the dirt.
"Caleb Wentworth remains
rock solid at third base and
made an outstanding play on
a bunt that saved a run and
newcomer Trevor McNeese
also recorded a great play
at third to end an inning,"
Mincy said.
Coaching Wakulla is
former Perry resident Eddie
Metcalf and assistant coach
Bill Peck, a Taylor County
High graduate.
Before the game Coach
Metcalf commented, "We
are excited, it's always fun
playing Perry, they always
have a good team."
With the win, Wakulla
improved its record to 3-0
while TCMS falls to 0-2.
The Bulldogs were
scheduled to travel to
Madison on Tuesday before
entertaining Florida High
this Friday beginning at 5
p.m.

Lang Lake management

area has new boat ramp

There's a new boat
ramp for Lang Lake Fish
Management Area at
PotashCorp-White Springs

The new ramp is accessible
at the same entrance as
the old ramp, according to

In addition, PotashCorp-

road to the ramp.

nearly as steep and should
provide better access for our
anglers."

Healthy Start launches new

'Show Your Love' campaign

By DONNA HAGAN
Executive Director
Show Your Love is a
new national campaign
developed by the
Preconception Health
and Health Care Initiative
(PHHCI) in partnership
with Healthy Start Coalition
of Jefferson, Madison &
Taylor Counties, to help
women prepare for healthy
pregnancies.

Launched during
Valentine's Day month,
the campaign's message
points out that if a woman
chooses to have a child,
she can show love for her
child by first loving herself
by adopting healthy habits
well before becoming
pregnant.
By taking a few simple
steps toward becoming as
healthy as possible before

pregnancy, a woman can
experience long-lasting
benefits for herself and her
future children.
Preconception health
focuses on women taking
important steps now to
protect their health and
the health of the family
they may want to have
sometime in the future.

SIDEWALK
Continued from page 1
for fiscal year 2017 for
the construction of a bike
lane/sidewalk from Keaton
Beach Coastal Park to
Dark Island along County
Road 361; and $275,000
for fiscal year 2018 for the
construction of restrooms
and trailhead amenities at
the park.
Cox noted that both
projects will help satisfy

the park property with the
help of state funds.
The sidewalk along U.S.

with each county, receiving
approximately $275,000
for fiscal year 2019. A cash

possible projects, including
the Green Street project,
which would run 0.79 mile
from the comer of Arena

Howard Street at the school.

The second project would
be 1.53-mile long sidewalk
along Old Dixie Highway
from Jefferson Street to

Precautionary'boil

water' notice issued

Due to large amounts of rain over the past few days
and the possibility of local rivers reaching flood stage, the
Taylor County Health Department is advising residents to
take precautions against contaminated water, especially
individuals with private wells.
If your well has been covered with standing water, your
water may contain disease-causing organisms and may not
be safe to drink, officials said.
The Florida Department of Health recommends one of
the following:
Boil the water before drinking, holding it in a rolling
boil for one minute;
Disinfect it by adding 8 drops of plain unscented
household bleach per gallon of water, and then let it stand
for 30 minutes. If the water is cloudy after 30 minutes,
repeat the procedure; or
Use bottled water for drinking.
After the flooding subsides:
Disinfect your well using the procedures available from
your local health department, or provided on the MyFlorida
web page at: http://water.epa.gov/drink/info/well/whatdo.
cfm
Have your water tested by your local health department,
or by a laboratory certified by the state to do drinking water
analyses.
For further information, please contact the health
department at 850-584-5087 or visit www.doh.state.fl.us.
